Eric’s TV Review: Swamp Thing (2019)

★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ DC Universe ups the horror ante with Swamp Thing, a smart, brutal, and completely engaging tale that is both complex and comprehensible. Beautiful, and savage. Worth the price of subscription for sure. Too bad it's only going to be one season!

Eric’s Review: Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019)

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ if you like Kaiju vs. Kaiju battles. ★1/2 out of ★★★★★ if you don't It's rock-em-sock-em Kaiju in Godzilla's return to the western screens. The monster-on-monster action is gorgeous and frenetic, and the humans are superfluous. This is Toho-style stompy monsters with a big Hollywood budget.

Eric’s Review: Nightmare Cinema (2019)

★★★1/2 Out of ★★★★★ Nightmare Cinema is an anthology horror feature, with some of the biggest names in the genre directing a series of grisly short films, and uses an abandoned cinema as the connecting thread. As with most anthologies, it's a bit of a mixed bag in quality and style.

Eric’s Review: Satanic Panic (2019)

★★★★ out of ★★★★★ FANGORIA continues its reputation for bringing fun, low-budget elevated B-movie fare. Their new feature, Satanic Panic, has a look and production quality that belies its minuscule budget, and stars charismatic newcomer Haley Griffith.

★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Interlocking circles of revenge is the background of this brutal 2010 special agent vs. serial killer film. By the end of the movie, you are rooting for everyone to lose. (And yet, it's still a pretty good movie.)
